Saving energy

If you follow these instructions, your

appliance will use less electricity and

less water.

Use the Eco Wash programme.

The Eco Wash programme is en-

ergy-efficient and environmentally

friendly.

Change the sensor setting to the de-

fault.

Consumption is reduced.

→"Sensors", Page13

AquaSensor

The AquaSensor is an optical meas-

uring device (light barrier) which

measures the turbidity of the rinsing

water. You can save water with the

AquaSensor.

Use of the AquaSensor depends on

the programme. If the soiling level is

high, the rinsing water is drained off

and replaced with fresh water. If the

soiling level is lower, the rinsing wa-

ter is used in the next wash cycle, so

reducing water consumption by 3-6

litres. In the automatic programmes

the temperature and run time are ad-

ditionally adjusted to the level of soil-

ing.

Sensors

The sensors adjust the programme

sequence and strength in the auto-

matic programmes depending on the

level and type of soiling.

The sensor has different sensitivity

settings that can be changed in the

basic settings.

Sensor setting Description

SE:00 Optimum setting for a

mixed load and heavily

soiled tableware. Saves

both energy and water.

SE:01 Adjusts the programme

strength for effective re-

moval of food remnants

even with low soiling

levels. Energy and water

consumption are adjusted

accordingly.

SE:02 Adjusts the programme

strength for difficult condi-

tions of use, e.g. stubborn

dried-on food remnants.

Recommended setting

when using organic or eco-

logical detergents contain-

ing low levels of active

agents. Energy and water

consumption are adjusted

accordingly.

Different programmes, which can be

found on the control panel of your

running time depends on the water

temperature, the quantity of table-

ted. The running time will change if

the rinse aid system is switched off

or rinse aid needs to be added.

The programme data is based on val-
